@PhilipArdagh@WychwoodFest@JordanAmandaj And thank you Philip and bonkers Froggie for all your enthusiasm for your ambassadorial duties, and of course for yet another fabulous Bunnies on the Bus event !!!
It's the magnificent author/illustrator @DuncanDraws at the @WychwoodFestival with (most of) @bdotp's equally-marvellous #Storybox team, all sporting their HEAVY METAL BADGER T-shirts. What an amazing #wychwoodfestival it's been this year! @LittleTigerUK

There's no reason, no history, no imagined future that excuses or justifies it.
And it's certainly not antisemitic to say that.
🚨Breaking: The four siblings, Salwa, Shaima, Abdulrahman, and Omar Akilan, were killed by the Israeli army in a heavy bombardment on their home in #Gaza City today, while their parents were wounded.

The thing about magic is that it’s terribly clever and the thing about grown-ups is that they very often aren’t.
